🏥 ERAS in liver surgery (Vercauteren et al., 2025):
✅ CP2 = ↓LOS 4→2 days ⏱️, safe (no ↑mortality, readmission, morbidity)
🤖 More MIS/robotic use in CP2, improved protocol adherence
👉 Discharge delays now mostly due to social/logistical, not clinical factors

🧪 FDG-PET/CT in PDAC (McKay et al., 2025):
➕More MDTs & tests, +20.5 days delay ⏳
❌No better local staging, detection of resectability, or 12-mo survival
🚨Detected occult metastases VS treatment delays
👉 MRI liver may be key for occult mets 🔍
